ReplyDeleteBasically it darkens your gravy and adds a little flavor. A little goes a long way.
Cant wait to try this tonight. It sounds exactly like what my husband has been asking me to make since we got married 4 years ago, but I could never find a recipe. And today is his birthday!!! What are the odds? :) Just wondering if you put the noodles in uncooked?
ReplyDeleteSorry I am a little late answering, but yes, you do put the noodles in uncooked. :)
